I have had strep throat for a week! I get married on July 7th (Next weekend!) I thought I was over it and BAM!!! Out of no where I was hit with a massive sore throat this morning and ulcers! I just had to call the doctor..I can't be sick with so much still to do! I gotta finish moving and getting the house all cleaned before the wedding and decorate for the wedding. I don't have time to be sick! Anybody have any of those ole' home remedies that can make me feel better to keep going? The doctor is supposed to be calling me in some more antibiotics today.

    For a sore throat I always do honey and lemon.  I know most people think its disgusting but this way is actually bareable.

    Get fresh lemons and section them.  Take maybe two tablespoons of honey and warm it in on the stove over low heat.  Once its really gooey take the rinds off the lemons and cut up the sections into small pieces and throw it in the pot with the honey to coat them and warm them up.  While doing this boil enough water for a mug.  Also if you have that bottled lemon juice throw some in with the honey and lemons.  After the lemons and nice and coated with the honey throw the water into loosen it all up out of the pot, pour into a glass and enjoy.  I love it and it is very soothing.

    diluted or straight apple cider vinegar.  It's the most disgusting thing in the world, but it helps

    Thank you both so much. I am so miserable I could cry! I remember having strep as kid and not even slowing down. Lord have mercy...I think it's worse on adults! I told the FI I felt like a wimp all laid up and feeling bad!

    pp is right. apple cider vinegar to help clear it with PLENTY vitamin C. Then honey and lemon to soothe it. I normally make hot green tea, then just pour in the honey and lemon

    Garlic helps with Strep as well as drinking hot sauce (no thanks).  I would ask you doc to give you a rocefrin shot.  You will be feeling better within 24 hours.  My little one has strep right now too and it on a round of amoxicillin.  She started it on Friday and is just feeling better today.  Hugs!

    What PP's said and get some rest when you can. I know it is so hard to sit and do nothing for a while, but I think that will help get the infection out of your body.

    Just an update...The doctor called me back at 6:00 yesterday evening. I called at 8:00 yesterday morning. This did not go over well. I told her to keep her medicine that I was going to another doctor. Sweet Sweet FI took me another doctor last night and they told I have relapsed with strep AGAIN! They did give the Rocefin shot last Tuesday but they didn't follow it with anything so it came back. Last night I got a steroid shot and steroid pack and a high dose of azithromycin (my poor tummy). He is trying to cure me if 5 days quick cause of the wedding in 11 days. Needless to say I am switching doctors. He told me that doctor basically sugar coated me. I was not a happy little girl.
